Peter Warren: Sure, I've thought about it. Who hasn't? If I could
ever meet the right sort of girl. Ahh, where you gonna find her? Somebody
that's real, somebody that's alive! They don't come like that way anymore.
Have I ever thought about it? Boy, I've even been sucker enough to make
plans. You know, I saw an island in the Pacific once, never been able
to forget it. That's where I'd like to take her. She'd have to be the
sort of a girl who'd ... ohh ... jump in the surf with me, and love it
as much as I did. You know, the nights when you and the moon and the water
all become one? And you feel you're part of something big and marvelous.
That's the only place to live -- where the stars are so close over your
head, you feel you could reach up and stir them around. Certainly, I've
been thinking about it.
